Re: Standby Instance questions and HA

2002-01-17 Thread Allen R. Lucas


What you are describing sounds like Oracle FailSafe.  It is free from
Oracle, does not require Oracle Enterprise version (Standard/workgroup can
be used), only runs on NT, and requires MicroSoft Cluster Services (MSCS)
which is included in NT4.0 EE or W2K Advanced Server.

As for Sun Solaris, I know nothing so will be of no help to you there.

Hi,
  I was reading in the book Oracle 24/7 Tips and Techniques about Standby
Instances.

Note, this is not a standby database.

From the book it seams to work in the following way...

There is only one database.
The database files exist on a shared disk pack. One machine is the primary
instance, and if this instance dies, a new instance is started on the
second
machine using the datafiles on the shared disk.

The problem is that I can't find anything in the Oracle docs about this, or
on Meta Link.

I also want to know if this method of HA requires a clustered environment
(I
think it does, but just want to be sure)?

Also, does it come with an Enterprise Edition license?
Or is it something which each hardware vendor implements in their own way,
at extra cost?

We have a requirement for a fail over method on Sun Solaris.
We do not want to loose any committed data (i.e. a standby database could
loose some), and want the fail over to be as automatic as possible.

We don't want the expense of Parallel Server (Anyone know how expensive it
is these days?).

The disk pack is RAID, and we may also have a standby database off site.

Has anyone any recommendations?


Thanks,

Jim

 While I can appreciate that your opinion of the Compaq Services division
 might be less than positive, would you please, for the sake of those who
 actually work for these companies, be a little less dramatic in your
 expression of that opinion.

 According to our hardware resalescritter: especially for anything
 below large enterprise level, both HP and Compaq services suck.

 so, I guess the objective is to create a new company who services
 suck even more than either individually?

 Synergy!!!

executable trigger

2001-06-28 Thread Allen R. Lucas

We have Oracle 8.0.5 in NT4.0.

A developer asked if an Oracle trigger can be used to kick off an
executable.  Looking in my books, I would have to assume 'no' as I find
noreference to this, but can anyone verify I am wrong, and where could I
get addiional information  if I am wrong?

Re: Licensing! Again!!

2001-04-23 Thread Allen R. Lucas


My understanding, obtained from arguing with my new licensing rep every 6
months, is that if 1 user has 3 connections, 1 concurrent license will
cover.

Highwater would count the above 3 connection user as 3 towards its
highwater mark, so the highwater is not a perfect 1-1 with the number of
concurrent users, it is the number of connections.

Hi!

 really sorry if I am 'dragging u back'!

 But can someone help me with Oracle's licensing
 policy (policies!) for servers

 and particularly the
 terms

CONCURRENT USERS

Does 'concurrent users' mean that if 1 user
has 3 concurrent sessions , is he counted once
or thrice?

LICENSE_HIGH_WATER_MARK


   what does this term 'actually' mean in the alert.log

   Does it mean concurrent users as defined above?
   or


Thanks a lot
